This study analyzes the morale of employees who work in a group participation arrangement within community-based farming corporations in Hiroshima prefecture. It makes use of a desire-provision system morale survey that analyzes four factors: policy, job, relatedness, and compensation. This methodology leverages Herzberg’ s motivation-hygiene theory, where policy and job factors are considered motivators. The results show that the morale of employees is strengthened by policy and relatedness factors, that the compensation factor is not a major issue, and that a low job factor (i.e., as a motivator) becomes problematic in terms of development. In particular, improvements in currently low policy and job factors among women are required.
